Ten killed in Israeli shelling of Gaza school, three dead in Beit Hanoon

The Wafa news agency reports that Israeli forces targeted Jabalia Preparatory School with "artillery shelling," killing at least 10 people and wounding 30 others.

The school, located in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, was serving as a shelter for displaced Palestinians.

In a separate incident, three people were killed and several others injured after Israeli forces bombed a shelter for displaced Palestinians in the centre of Beit Hanoon, another city in northern Gaza, according to Wafa.

At least 640 Palestinians have been killed since Israel began its siege of northern Gaza 17 days ago.
